    Well thought out and amazing looking menu but The food lacked seasoning/flavor. Things don't have to be overseasoned but a dash of salt and/or pepper could go a long way. I ordered the egg tacos with goat cheese. It should have been great but the egg was so bland it brought the dish down. The guac was ok but lacked the acidity/lime found it most guacamole. The dish ate somewhat dry. I love goat cheese but there wasn't enough to make a big difference. Loved the texture of the eggs. They were soft, light, and fluffy (but bland) which was the consensus at the table. Everyone said their dishes lacked salt. Salt and pepper was definitely being passed back and forth. Fruit bowl was basic, I just wanted something fresh with my meal. Hostess was very friendly. The server was ok. It was busy so get em in, serve quickly, get em out was the vibe.. With the amount of people dining, the atmosphere was kinda loud so it was somewhat hard to have and hear conversation. This place wasn't bad, but it wasn't as enjoyable as it should have been

    Great food and service! I order the Dubai waffle, which was on the specials. It was delicious but I wish it had some aspect of chocolate on it. We ordered a chocolate chip pancake for the table and it was delicious!

    Family owned and operated, they take pride in what they do and care about your patronage! Fast friendly good service and nice menu with something for everyone! The eggs , pancakes, toast and potatoes were excellent! They give you large portions at the best prices from Bridgeport to Milford! Great coffee, comfortable seating! If you're looking for place to to eat and reading this get in your car and go lol We will definitely be back!

    The Plate is a great option for breakfast within the area. The food is fresh, well cooked, flavorful, and plated nicely, and the prices are very reasonable especially for the generous portions. It was actually our first time eating here despite them being open for I believe close to 10 years now. I love how they continue to update their specials on a weekly basis, which to me shows that the chef and the kitchen are not complacent and continue to try to keep things innovative despite being a long-established restaurant. I do think that the business would benefit greatly from a renovation or relocation to a newer building. The interior and exterior could use some TLC, and it just seems like the use of space and flow of the restaurant could be more optimal. While service was courteous and fast, the business would definitely benefit from an overall additional focus on the front-of-house customer experience and ambiance. For example, having a sign that points to the dining room asking for customers to seat themselves feels too impersonal, and again this is where the restaurant's layout and extra space works against them. The chef's team clearly takes immense pride in the presentation of their food. Extending that same focus to the restaurant's ambience and personal warmth would truly elevate them to another level. All that being said, we're looking forward to exploring more of their menu and offerings in the future!

    Banana Chocolate Crepe Waffle
    Michele C.

    We went here for Easter brunch. The restaurant is clean, staff is very friendly. We were greeted and seated promptly. The breakfast menu is pretty lengthy with pretty much anything you'd like to eat from French toast, to Bennie's & breakfast sandwiches. Plus for me is when a restaurant has flavored coffee which they had multiple options, hazelnut & French vanilla. I had the hazelnut, yum!! A couple of us had the banana chocolate crepe waffle. So good! The presentation was amazing and so was the taste. Crunchy Belgian waffle topped with banana, whipped cream and a chocolate filled crepe. Very filling! Others in our party got the frosted flake coated French toast, Belgian waffle & caramel apple stuffed French toast. Everyone left full & happy!

    Corned beef , eggs , potatoes and rye toast

    Looked online and it said my breakfast would be 10.95 then I looked on their website and it said 12.00 so with tax it was almost 15.00. Corned beef has two eggs over , potatoes and rye toast . Tasted pretty good but not worth the price imo.

    Mac and Cheese Lunch
    Jennifer L.

    DELICIOUS food!!! They don't add a lick of salt to these dishes so be prepared for adding some if you're like me. The Mac and cheese was fabulous and the Seitan Philly - also fabulous. They make a yum iced latte. Got mine with oat milk. The service is scattered, I can't decide if they're dedicated to a table or it's better off to go to the counter and order there. All I know is aside from dropping the food at the table, they don't check on you again. Seating is inside or outside, great location, the view though - is a parking lot and buildings. Bathrooms are very clean and gender neutral.

    Lobster Mac and cheese.
    Steven M.

    I was visiting friends and family in Connecticut when my friend suggested checking out The Plate. He's vegan so the large vegan menu gave him a ton of great options while I live in the desert so any chance for me to order some New England style lobster I'm gonna jump on that. I ordered the lobster grilled cheese and this thing was not only mouth watering to look at but absolutely delicious to consume and the French fries it was served with were top notch as well, dare I say the perfect lunch? On top of having amazing food the place itself is super charming and screams Connecticut. Overall, The Plate was a fantastic place to grab some lunch and I've honestly been thinking about that lobster grilled cheese for a month now. When you mix good food with super friendly staff and a cozy environment you get a five star slap to the stomach.

    I really liked this restaurant. It was busy but friendly. Staff was great. They kept checking on me. A lot of bang for your buck. Not too far off of the highway. Free Wi-Fi and plenty of parking. Great for small or large groups or just a visit by yourself. They are able to customize your breakfast omelettes whatever way you need. As most of my friends know I had a weight loss surgery, which does not allow me to eat things very fast and things get cold. They were able to box my leftovers up with no problem and heat up my coffee so that I had it nice and hot for the road. Patrons were of all ages. I like it that they had a side that was set up for dining and then another side that was set up for drinking. The staff didn't rush me either. Overall great experience and would recommend it to another friend or family to visit.

    Wild berry French toast (bruschetta on the menu).
    Jason B.

    I'd go 3.5 stars if allowed. Pros: on a Monday just after 12pm there was plenty of seating. Extensive menu of breakfast choices. The booth I sat in was spacious (easily fit 4). The mixed berry French toast was tasty. Cons: the steak and eggs special was just ok. I've had better meat quality at other places. I didn't realize until after I left but they forgot to give me part of the special. The coffee wasn't great. Service was slow possibly because there weren't many workers and I noticed a lot of take out orders.

    Creme Brûlée French Toast
    Jen C.

    I came here for breakfast this morning with family. The restaurant was busy but not too busy which was nice. Their booths have high tops which are also great. I love their extensive menu and how it offered unique flavor combinations and everything we had was delicious. I ordered the Creme brûlée French toast, which had the cracked sugar, creamy filling and fluffy toast that I was looking for. The portion size was good for the price. The only thing that was lacking was speedy service. All servers were friendly and helpful but it took about 20 minutes to get our check after we completed our meal. I would return again for the food but allow more time for my meal.

    "Spread your wings for New Orleans Kentucky bluebird, fly…read moreaway And take a message to Michael" (Dionne Warwick) Quite a few of Mike's Yelp reviews mention their fantastic customer service, and that claim was proven the minute we crossed the threshold into their deli. We were greeted by a big smiling face that seemed genuinely happy to see us, and made us feel at ease as if we were long lost relatives. What a welcoming experience for our first time here. Mike's is an old school Italian deli, with quite a few breakfast specials that are incredibly priced. For example, how about an egg on a roll for $3.25 or hash browns for a buck? Hell, the most expensive breakfast item on their entire menu is $9.50 for three eggs, home fries, toast and breakfast meat! After breakfast, you can function on lunch because Mike's offers plenty of hot and cold sandwiches, hot and cold sides, paninis, salads, soups and Italian lunches and dinners. The most expensive thing on the entire menu is a Chicken Parmigiano dinner for $15.95. We ordered some food to go, and we walked out with a bag and box of food for $34.24 after tax. Our order included a Ham and Cheese on a roll ($9.25), Ziti with Chicken Parmigiano Lunch ($10.95), fresh Garden Salad ($9.95), and two chocolate chip cookies ($2). As we were waiting for the food, we witnessed a parade of lunch customers coming in for their to-go orders. Many of the customers were obvious regulars and they were addressed by name by the staff. That was pretty cool to see. We split the sandwich for lunch, and it was a very good sandwich with plenty of high-quality deli ham and cheese, fresh lettuce and tomatoes and onions, and a very fresh hard roll. For dinner, we attacked the salad, chicken parm and ziti, and a hunk of fresh buttered Italian bread that came with the chicken and ziti. The salad was excellent, with plenty of fresh lettuce, grape tomatoes, halved cucumber slices, black olives, and cheddar cheese shreds. The chicken parm/ziti lunch was a pretty good portion that we easily split. Ziti, sauce, cubed breaded chicken cutlets, all with a blanket of marinara sauce and cheese. We had it for dinner and it was very good, as was the Italian bread that came with it. The proverbial icing on the cake wasn't a cake at all, but two chocolate chip cookies, made fresh every morning by Mike himself. What a sweet way to finish off our wonderful experience with Mike's Italian Deli & Grill. This was an easy FIVE STAR review for customer service, value, variety, and product quality.

    My first time in Connecticut a few days ago and Mike's deli was my first stop. Friendly folks here…read more I ordered the Italian sub and absolutely loved it! The bread is so good! Meats piled high, and tomatoes were just perfect. I'd love to go back again and visit, maybe get a chicken cutlet.

The sandwiches are really good and they have a nice little outdoor seating area in the warmer months. Some of the food is not homemade but they still do a good job overall. I would say it's a little pricey because I tend to spend around $40 to $50 on breakfast for 3 of us. We usually get two sandwiches and a breakfast platter plus a drink and it adds up quickly. Wait time is usually about 15 minutes. They get busy but they keep it moving. Pro-tip: add cherry peppers to your favorite breakfast sandwich for a nice kick in spice and flavor.

    My mom and I were on our way to visit a family member on New Year's Eve. I was really craving a…read morebagel with cream cheese, but all the shops I found that were on the way were closed because of the holiday. I finally came across this place. We stopped by. When we went in, we were the only people, but that changed 3 minutes into our experience - it was customer after customer after that. I think a lot of guys with hands on jobs come here to buy breakfast before work (it is convenient, cheap, and delicious). I finally decided on one of their specials which was a grilled cheese on sourdough. It came with bacon, avocado, tomato, and cheese. My mom wanted a traditional American breakfast so she had the platter - 3 eggs, bacon, and toast, with a side of coffee. Altogether it came out to $20 which was really good. We were in no rush, and I think they saw that so they prioritized their orders. They have milk (whole, oat, and half and half) and sugar for the coffee on a table to the right of the counter. While I waited, I admired the plants they had all around the windowsill. I was also loving all the natural lighting coming in. We noticed it was a bit cold inside. The bathroom is clean and warm. After about 15 minutes, our food was ready. Each half of my sandwich was big. I could see all the crispy bacon, the gooey cheese, the fresh avocado and tomato, and the perfectly crispy bread. The first bite was magnificent and so was the rest. The only complaint was that it did feel a but too oily. My mom's food was also good. The eggs looked great and the bacon was crispy just like she likes it. The only complaint with hers was that it seemed like instead of butter for the toast, they used congealed bacon fat. Overall, we had a great experience. Although it seemed like there were only 2 workers - one taking orders, and another cooking - they were very efficient.

The bread had just the right amount of firmness on the outside while staying soft inside, giving it a great texture. My husband's chicken Philly was even better--warm, well-seasoned chicken with perfectly sautéed peppers. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and would happily come back to try more sandwiches. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!
